Lionel Messi, who has always planned to end his career at Barcelona, is hinting that might not happen.

In an interview published Tuesday by sports newspaper Ole, the 27-year-old Argentine says: "While I always said that I would like to stay there (Barcelona) forever, sometimes not everything happens the way you want."

Messi indicated that the club's current situation — with losses on the field and a new coach in Luis Enrique — could change things.

He says "Barcelona is a very big club. And when you lose two games in a row, problems begin to crop up and critics come out from all sides ... crazy stuff, the same as with the (Argentine) national team."
